ah you misunderstand me slightly i think. Not suggesting for a second that you seek an illegal advantage. Of course it is perfectly legal, however it still gives you an advantage over single played accounts. I cannot spend all day on tw, but if i had coplayers i probably could. So why don't i get coplayers, simply cos i prefer to play my way by myself.
I do honestly believe that tw would outlaw coplayed accounts if they possibly could, however as there is no way to tell if an account is coplayed providing of course both players come from same area. Its a bit like rp scripts are not allowed but bookmarking is, doesn't make sense other than bookmarking is undetectable by tw so cannot be banned.
But you have to admit it, a coplayed account has an advantage, activity is increased and that is the main attribute of a successful account. I play maybe 5 hours a day, with a coplayer the account could be played 10 h ours a day. Surely you have to admit that would give a big advantage........
Can you offer any other sport or pastime whereas 2 or more players can play together as a team against one individual. Imagine a football team fielding 14 players? would never be allowed, it would not be fair.....and how could you ask federer to play against both murray and ivanisevic? what about a 4 x 400 metre relay team competing against 1 guy running all 4 legs? The list is endless. It most definitely gives you an advantage not an unfair one, but nonetheless an advantage. Those single players who compete well against you are something special, especially if they run a tribe too.
No you misunderstood my reply.
You complain about people coplaying. I just tried to show you how instead of giving those who coplay an unfair advantage, letting people coplay
actually evens the playing field.
To quote myself,
"It's already been pointed out that coplaying, although counterintuitive as a concept, actually evens the playing field, the point being that everyone can get a co if they want whereas not everyone can be online the whole time."
You see if coplaying were not allowed, then people who could get on more would have a huge advantage over the people who can't be so active which
can't be resolved. However, because coplaying is allowed, those who are less active can coplay and in that way resolve the difference in activity.
I don't mind if they make coplaying illegal, but because it isn't, I'm gonna exploit the opportunities it gives me where I want. I don't like people complaining about coplayed accounts because
everyone if they want can coplay. I know that some people don't like it, I respect that, I used to not like it until I tried it out and it worked out very well and enabled me to play a second world at a high standard without having to worry about neglecting my first world or rl. However because coplaying is available to everyone, including yourself as you pointed out very well, don't complain about it. You made a choice of not wanting to coplay, very well you can do what you want, but do accept what comes along with that decision. I made my own choice, that of coplaying, respect my decision too.
And your sport analogies are completely irrelevant, as you seem to imply for example in your football one that only one team can have 14 players where as the second can't, and that is exactly where you are wrong. The point is everyone can coplay there is nothing stopping anyone from doing it, only their will. In a more realistic example if they allowed teams in football to have 14 players than all teams would field 14 players not just one obviously, any sensible manager would field as many players as possible in his team of course, your sport analogies are very much flawed.
Of course coplaying gives me an advantage, not only in game, also in real life (more spare time), however there is nothing I can do if you don't want to use that advantage, it's there for everyone I'm merely using what is an opportunity out there for all of us.
